Domain Priest (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

A domain priest is devoted to a certain patron or focused sphere of influence, giving up some of the warpriest's fighting prowess and ability to heal or harm for greater domain powers. Domain priests tend to be neutral in alignment, less interested in ethics and more in their chosen focus and everyday life. They are excemplars of their domains, alive with domain power.

Domain Spells and Spontaneous Domains

A domain priest adds the level one to six domain spells of each of her domains to her spell list. She can prepare these spells like she prepares any other spell. In addition to being able to substitute for cure/inflict spells, a domain priest can substitute for domain spells from either of her domains. She also gains the domain powers of both her domains. This replaces focus weapon, channel energy, the ability to heal or inflict wounds with fervor, and the bonus feat warpriests get at level 3 and 6.
